Arkansas lawmakers want to make it more difficult for scammers who target senior citizens.

A bill filed this week would create a reporting system that involves financial institutions and investigative authorities.

Co-sponsor of HB 1391, Rep. Carlton Wing, R-North Little Rock, said he was inspired to file the bill after his Sunday school teacher was duped.

Wing along with another co-sponsor of the bill, Sen. Jonathan Dismang, R-Beebe, and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, R-Ark., held a press conference announcing the bill’s purpose on Wednesday (March 31).
